A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :

The methodology to complete the inventory was two-fold: 1) faculty were asked to self-identify their courses and provide descriptions; 2) staff compared the list of respondents and courses to both the environmental program curriculum and the courses that have been generated from the sustainability-across-the-curriculum workshop and followed up with faculty whose courses seemed to be missing.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:

Each offering or section of a course was counted as an individual course

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Future course inventories will indicate which courses offer multiple sections so that reviewers can understand how the number of courses in the inventory reconciles with the number of courses claimed in Part 1. In Part 2, Sustainability (SUS) is an interdisciplinary program, not a "department," and is therefore excluded from both the numerator and denominator.
